+## [0.15.0](https://github.com/scaleapi/nucleus-python-client/releases/tag/v0.15.0) - 2022-12-19
+
+### Changed
+- `dataset.slices` now returns a list of `Slice` objects instead of a list of IDs
+
+### Added
+Retrieve a slice from a dataset by its name, or all slices of a particular type from a dataset. Where type is one of `["dataset_item", "object", "scene"]`.
+- `dataset.get_slices(name, slice_type): List[Slice]`
+```python
+from nucleus.slice import SliceType
+dataset.get_slices(name="My Slice")
+dataset.get_slices(slice_type=SliceType.DATASET_ITEM)
